New retailers come to Westchester Ridge Hill

Yonkers, N.Y. -- Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC), the developer and owner of the Westchester’s Ridge Hill shopping center, has announced some new tenants that will open at the regional center. They include 5 Napkin, a family-friendly bar and grill; Wine Zetta, a regional wine store; and Hand and Stone, a spa franchise.

In addition, restaurant operator Poll Brothers has leased a Town Square location. In the past few months, national retail additions include The Children’s Place, Lord & Taylor, and Banana Republic, which plans to open a new store at Ridge Hill in September.
